Baltimore Hotel

This three-story brick building, the Baltimore Hotel at 247 Main Street, has a cupola on top and decorative cornices along the top edge. Several signs are visible on the building; they read: "Hotel, Drugs & Sundries" "Baltimore Cafe, Meals 20¢, Tables for Ladies" "Dr. Jas. C. Agee, M.D., Office, Drugs and Sundries" "Rooms" "Soft drinks" "Cigars & Tobacco." "Hotel Baltimore" is lettered on lower story windows and a "Budweiser" display card is visible through one of the windows. A striped barber pole is seen at the rear of the hotel. A man stands nearby and some children are seated on the concrete curb.

The Baltimore Hotel at 247 Main Street has changed very little, architecturally, since the 1886 photograph made by A.C. Hull (See Ruwe Hotel 1886). Decorative cornices, the cupola, the iron balcony, and the corner entrance all remain intact even though thirty-nine years have passed. Automobiles have replaced the 1886 horse drawn vehicles and a wealth of advertising signs have been posted on the front of the building.
